Rwy'n ecolegydd dadelfennu / ecolegydd ffwngaidd, yn arbennig o ddiddorol gan weithgareddau mycelia ffyngau coetir. Rwyf wedi ymchwilio i ecoleg dadelfennu coed a ffyngau pydredd pren ers canol y 1970au. Rwyf wedi arloesi gwaith ar strwythur a dynameg cymunedol ffyngaidd mewn pren. Mae fy nhîm wedi ymchwilio i ganlyniad rhyngweithio ffwngaidd, sut mae'r rhain yn newid yn dibynnu ar ffactorau biotig ac abiotig, ac wedi defnyddio'r wybodaeth hon i esbonio patrymau strwythur a datblygiad cymunedol ffwngaidd. Mae dealltwriaeth ddyfnach o ryngweithio wedi dod o astudio mynegiant genynnau yn ystod rhyngweithiadau rhyng-benodol a chynhyrchu cyfansoddion organig anweddol a diffusible yn ystod rhyngweithio mycelial. Rydym wedi datgelu ecoleg fforio, pensaernïaeth rhwydwaith a rolau allweddol basidiomycetau ffurfio cord mewn trawsleoli maetholion a phydredd pren mewn ecosystemau coedwigoedd, ac wedi gwneud datblygiadau mawr o ran deall effeithiau pori infertebratau ar y prosesau hyn. Mae gwaith diweddar wedi datgelu tueddiadau ffenomenolegol mawr mewn ffrwythau a dosbarthiad ffwngaidd, gyda goblygiadau mawr ar gyfer gweithgarwch mycelial a gweithredu ecosystemau. Ar hyn o bryd rydym yn canolbwyntio ar gymunedau pydredd yng nghanol coed cyn-filwyr, clefyd coed ynn a newid yn yr hinsawdd.
Addysg ac Allgymorth
I lawer o bobl, pan sonir am ffyngau, eu hymateb cyntaf yw "A allaf ei fwyta neu a fydd yn fy lladd?" neu "yuk! Sut allwn ni eu dileu? maen nhw'n pydru'n bwyd a'n cartrefi, yn lladd ein planhigion a hyd yn oed weithiau yn tyfu arnom ni". Rwy'n benderfynol o newid y farn hon, oherwydd heb ffyngau ni fyddai ecosystemau daearol planed Ddaear yn gweithio. Mae llawer mwy iddyn nhw na dim ond y cyrff ffrwythau sy'n datgelu eu hunain o bryd i'w gilydd. Felly, rwy'n gyfathrebwr brwd o ddirgelion a phwysigrwydd Teyrnas Ffyngau gudd anhygoel i fyfyrwyr ac i'r cyhoedd, yn y DU ac yn rhyngwladol, gan gynnwys rhaglenni teledu a radio, sgyrsiau poblogaidd, fideos, ffilmiau, erthyglau, llyfrau, sioeau ac arddangosfeydd.

Mewn coed byw, mae'r rhan fwyaf o bydredd yn digwydd yng nghanol canolog y goeden (a elwir yn pydredd y galon), lle mae cynnwys dŵr yn is ac awyru yn well nag mewn pren swyddogaethol. Er gwaethaf astudiaeth pydredd y galon wedi dechrau bron i 200 mlynedd yn ôl, mae ymchwil gyfyngedig wedi bod yn ystod y 50 mlynedd diwethaf, yn ôl pob tebyg oherwydd bod arferion coedwigaeth yn cynnwys tyfu coed iau i raddau helaeth. Nid ydym yn gwybod sut mae'r ffyngau yn sefydlu, sut mae eu cymunedau'n newid dros amser, lleoliad, cyfraddau a phatrymau dadelfennu mewn perthynas ag anatomeg pren. Nid ydym ychwaith yn gwybod sut mae hyn yn effeithio ar yr organebau sy'n dibynnu ar y cynefin hwn. Datgelodd ein hastudiaethau cychwynnol ar ffawydd strwythur 3-dimensiwn ffyngau pydredd mewn pren, a dangosodd fod cofnodion o gyrff ffrwythau yn rhoi arwydd gwael o'r ffyngau sy'n gyfrifol am bydru, a'u dosbarthiad mewnol. Ar y llaw arall, datgelodd ein harchwilio i dderw mai'r ddau brif ffwng a welir yn ffrwythau ar boncyffion – ffwng stêc cig eidion (Fistulina hepatica) a chyw iâr y coed (Laetiporus sulphureus) – yw prif achosion pydredd y galon a phant, er bod amrywiaeth fawr o ascomycetes sydd â rolau anhysbys eto. Mae ein hymchwil barhaus ar boncyffion lludw sy'n sefyll wedi'u cwympo/wedi cwympo yn darparu gwybodaeth sylfaenol am ei amrywiaeth ffwngaidd, gwybodaeth hanfodol yn dilyn marwolaeth lludw. Rydym yn dod o hyd i gymunedau ffwngaidd gwahanol iawn i'r rhai mewn rhywogaethau coed eraill, ac nad yw'n ymddangos bod coed brodorol neu naturioledig eraill sy'n darparu cynefin i lawer o'r ffyngau lludw. Wrth gwrs, nid yw ffyngau yn gweithredu ar wahân, bacteria yn aml yn bresennol mewn symiau bach ac weithiau'n dominyddu, gan achosi amodau o'r enw pren gwlyb, yr ydym newydd ddechrau eu hastudio.
Mae boncyffion gwag o goed cyn-filwyr yn darparu cynefin pwysig i ffyngau, infertebratau a fertebratau, gan gynnwys rhywogaethau dan fygythiad. Mae coed cyn-filwyr yn dirywio yn fyd-eang, gan gynnwys y DU, ac er bod rhaglenni plannu enfawr gall gymryd dros gan mlynedd i bylchau ddechrau datblygu, yn dibynnu ar rywogaethau coed. Bydd hyn yn gadael bwlch mawr rhwng carfanau o goed, a'r cynefin a ffurfiwyd gan ffyngau yn eu boncyffion sy'n hanfodol i lawer o organebau. Rydym wedi bod yn profi ffyrdd o ailadrodd y cynefin pren marw hwn mewn coed iau. Rydym wedi llwyddo i frechu ffyngau pydredd y galon priodol i goed ffawydd i ddechrau'r broses pydru'r galon, ac rydym bellach yn brechu coed derw. Rydym wedi monitro coed sydd wedi cael eu difrodi yn ddamweiniol neu'n fwriadol gan eraill yn y gobaith o gychwyn pydredd y galon ac wedi dangos bod sefydlu ffyngau pydredd y galon trwy'r broses hon fel arfer yn araf iawn. Ein nod yw cyflwyno'r broses frechu yn ehangach.
Ffyngau basidiomycete pydredd pren mewn perygl
Cydweithredwr BIOSI: Newyddion
Cydweithwyr allanol: Matt Wainhouse (Natural England), Rich Wright (Plant Life Wales), Ted Green (Windsor)
Mae ffyngau yn y genws Hericium (ffyngau draenogod) yn dadelfennu pren. Mae H. erinaceum yn rhywogaeth flaenoriaeth BAP yn y DU, mae H. coralloides yn ymddangos hyd yn oed yn brin, ac mae H. cirrhatum hefyd yn anghyffredin. Gan ganolbwyntio ar y rhywogaethau hyn, rydym wedi cael y wybodaeth awtästicol fwyaf manwl o unrhyw rywogaeth ffwngaidd honedig brin. Yn yr un modd, gyda'r polypore derw prin Buglossoporus quercinus, rydym wedi darganfod bod poblogaethau yn ymddangos i fod yn inbred, sborau rhywiol anaml yn egino, ond mae sborau anrhywiol â waliau trwchus yn caniatáu goroesi o dan ficrohinsawdd niweidiol. Rydym yn ceisio atgyfnerthu poblogaethau trwy gadwraeth brechu ffyngau prin i goed byw sy'n sefyll, ac wedi bod yn gweithio ar ganllawiau ar gyfer beth, sut, ble a phryd i frechu er mwyn osgoi canlyniadau amgylcheddol anfwriadol.
Coedwig law dymherus

Cydweithwyr Allanol: Rich Wright (Bywyd Planhigion)
Ar hyn o bryd mae ychydig dros 1% o arwyneb tir Prydain yn cael ei feddiannu gan goedwigoedd glaw tymherus yr Iwerydd, sy'n cynrychioli tua 40% o goedwigoedd glaw tymherus Ewrop sy'n weddill. Mae'n gynefin prin a dan fygythiad yn rhyngwladol sy'n cefnogi cymunedau amrywiol o epiphytes. Ar hyn o bryd mae gwybodaeth gyfyngedig am gymunedau ffwngaidd pydredd coed felly rydym yn anelu at adfer y cydbwysedd mewn prosiectau sydd newydd ddechrau.
Rhyngweithiadau ffwngaidd-infertebratau
Cydweithredwr BIOSI: T. Hefin Jones, Sarah Christofides
Cydweithwyr Allanol: Matt Wainhouse (Natural England), Gareth Griffith (Prifysgol Aberystwyth)
Mae ffyngau ac infertebratau yn rhyngweithio'n agos wrth ddadelfennu pren, gydag effeithiau cadarnhaol a negyddol ar ei gilydd. Mae llawer o infertebratau yn cael eu denu at mycelia ffwngaidd a chyrff ffrwythau, y gallant bori arnynt a lle gallant fridio. Rydym yn ymchwilio i'r cymunedau infertebratau yn y pant ar waelod boncyffion coed ynn, ffawydd a derw byw gan ddefnyddio echdynnu Tullgren traddodiadol ac adnabod morffolegol ynghyd â dulliau moleciwlaidd. Yn ogystal ag arolygon cyffredinol ac ymchwilio i gydberthynas â ffyngau sy'n bresennol, rydym wedi canolbwyntio'n arbennig ar y chwilen glicio fioled prin (Gambrinus (=Limoniscus) violaceus).
Yn hytrach na defnyddio biniau o ddeunydd organig fel ffordd o bontio'r bwlch cynefin pren pydredig ar gyfer infertebratau, rydym yn treialu blychau pren o blawd llif wedi'u gwladychu gan ffyngau pydredd y galon priodol. Er mewn camau cynnar, mae samplu yn dangos bod gwahanol infertebratau i'w cael mewn blychau gyda gwahanol rywogaethau o ffyngau.
Patrymau bwydo, pensaernïaeth a chof systemau mycelia mewn pridd

Ffyngau basidiomycete sy'n pydru pren yw'r prif asiantau dadelfennu mewn coedwigoedd ac felly'n hanfodol i gylchu maetholion. Ar lawr y goedwig, mae ffyngau pydredd sy'n cynhyrchu organau llinellol 'tebyg i wreiddiau' - a elwir yn cordiau, yn arddangos patrymau rhyfeddol o ailddyrannu biomas a maetholion wrth ddod o hyd i adnoddau newydd. Maent hefyd yn defnyddio biomas yn wahanol ac yn gweithredu patrymau chwilio gwahanol yn dibynnu ar rywogaethau, cyfundrefn microhinsoddol, statws maetholion y system a'r pridd cyfagos. Mae'r rhwydweithiau mycelial cymhleth sy'n ffurfio mewn pridd yn cael eu hailfodelu yn gyson mewn ymateb i ddarganfod a galw am faetholion, newidiadau mewn microhinsawdd ac aflonyddwch dinistriol, e.e. gan borwyr infertebratau. Rydym hefyd wedi dangos bod gan mycelia ryw fath o gof 'cyfeiriadol'.
Ar hyn o bryd rydym yn ymchwilio, yn fathemategol, i bensaernïaeth rhwydweithiau, llwybrau rhwng gwahanol ranbarthau, gwytnwch i ddifrod, ac ati gan ddefnyddio theori graffiau / rhwydwaith, a modelu patrymau bwydo. Dim ond llond llaw o ffyngau sy'n ffurfio llinyn sydd wedi'u hastudio hyd yn hyn, ond mae llawer o rywogaethau yn gallu cynhyrchu cordiau felly rydym yn dechrau ymchwilio i berthynas esblygiadol rhwng y ffyngau hyn.
Effeithiau newid byd-eang ar ffyngau
Mae ffyngau yn darparu gwasanaethau ecosystem hanfodol trwy ddadelfennu, cylchdroi maetholion a chydgrynhoi'r pridd, ac maent yn elfen bwysig o ymatebion ecosystemau i newid byd-eang. Rydym wedi bod yn rhan o ddadansoddiadau helaeth o setiau data o'r DU a chyfandir Ewrop, sydd wedi dangos bod ffenoleg ffrwythau ffwngaidd yn newid yn ddramatig yn ogystal â gwesteion a dosbarthiadau rhywogaethau, oherwydd newidiadau hinsawdd a byd-eang eraill, er bod hyn yn amrywio rhwng rhywogaethau ac ecosystemau. Rydym hefyd wedi astudio effeithiau newid yn yr hinsawdd ar ryngweithiadau ffwng-infertebratau a rhyngweithiadau ffwng-ffwng, ac yn awr wedi ymgorffori agweddau newid byd-eang ym mhob un o'n prosiectau parhaus.
Rhyngweithiadau rhwng ffyngau saprotoffig
Cydweithwyr BIOSI: Hilary J. Rogers, Carsten Müller, Sarah Christofides
Cydweithwyr allanol: Daniel P. Eastwood (Prifysgol Abertawe)
Ffyngau Basidiomycete yw'r prif asiantau dadelfennu a chylicio maetholion mewn ecosystemau coedwigoedd. Mae gwahanol rywogaethau ac unigolion yn dod ar draws ei gilydd o fewn adnoddau organig gwladychu ac mewn sbwriel pridd / dail yn ystod y tyfiant i chwilio am adnoddau newydd. Maent yn amddiffyn ac yn cael tiriogaeth newydd trwy ryngweithiadau ymladd, gwrthwynebus. Mae'r rhyngweithiadau hyn, felly, yn hanfodol i ddatblygiad a gweithrediad cymunedol ffwngaidd mewn deunydd organig marw. Y canlyniadau cyffredinol yw deadlock, lle nad yw'r naill rywogaeth na'r llall yn ennill cyntaf, neu amnewid lle mae un rhywogaeth yn tynnu tiriogaeth oddi wrth y llall, ond weithiau amnewid rhannol neu ailosod cilyddol. Mae'r canlyniadau'n amrywio yn dibynnu ar rywogaeth, safle rhyngweithio (h.y. mewn pridd neu bren ac ati), microhinsawdd a maint cymharol mycelia a'r adnoddau a feddiannir ac ati. Gall canlyniad rhyngweithiadau gael ei effeithio gan ficrohinsawdd a statws adnoddau ymhlith eraill. Rydym wedi dangos bod pori infertebratau pridd yn newid rhyngweithiadau mycelial, yn ddramatig. Gyda chymhlethdod rhywogaethau lluosog ac amodau amgylcheddol, mae llawer o wahanol fecanweithiau antagonistaidd yn gweithredu. Mae ymatebion i wrthwynebwyr yn cynnwys rhannu a marwolaeth celloedd cyflym, cynhyrchu pigmentau, cyfansoddion organig anweddol (VOCs) a gwasgaradwy, asiantau gwrthficrobaidd eraill, newidiadau mewn cynhyrchu ensymau a mynegiant genynnau. Rydym yn ceisio deall sut mae rhyngweithiadau ffwngaidd rhyng-benodol yn pennu strwythur a datblygiad cymunedau ffwngaidd, a mecanweithiau sylfaenol antagonism. Yn y pen draw, rydym am wybod sut mae cymunedau pydredd pren yn gweithredu mewn ecosystemau naturiol. Rydym yn ymchwilio i'r newidiadau ffisiolegol a mynegiant genynnau yn ystod rhyngweithiadau rhwng rhywogaethau o ffyngau pydredd mewn pren sy'n cynrychioli'r olyniaeth o wladychwr cynradd i ddadelfenwyr eilaidd a thrydyddol, o dan amodau amgylcheddol gwahanol, gan ddefnyddio offer ôl-genomig newydd i'n galluogi i gael darlun cyflawn o'r genynnau sy'n cael eu troi ymlaen ac i ffwrdd yn ystod rhyngweithiadau.

Rydym wedi monitro coed sydd wedi cael eu difrodi yn ddamweiniol neu'n fwriadol gan eraill yn y gobaith o gychwyn pydredd y galon ac wedi dangos bod sefydlu ffyngau pydredd y galon trwy'r broses hon fel arfer yn araf iawn. Ein nod yw cyflwyno'r broses frechu yn ehangach.

Mae ffyngau yn y genws Hericium (ffyngau draenogod) yn dadelfennu pren. Mae H. erinaceum yn rhywogaeth flaenoriaeth BAP yn y DU, mae H. coralloides yn ymddangos hyd yn oed yn brin, ac mae H. cirrhatum hefyd yn anghyffredin. Gan ganolbwyntio ar y rhywogaethau hyn, rydym wedi cael y wybodaeth awtästicol fwyaf manwl o unrhyw rywogaeth ffwngaidd honedig brin. Yn yr un modd, gyda'r polypore derw prin Buglossoporus quercinus, rydym wedi darganfod bod poblogaethau yn ymddangos i fod yn inbred, sborau rhywiol anaml yn egino, ond mae sborau anrhywiol â waliau trwchus yn caniatáu goroesi o dan ficrohinsawdd niweidiol. Rydym yn ceisio atgyfnerthu poblogaethau trwy gadwraeth brechu ffyngau prin i goed byw sy'n sefyll, ac wedi bod yn gweithio ar ganllawiau ar gyfer beth, sut, ble a phryd i frechu er mwyn osgoi canlyniadau amgylcheddol anfwriadol.

Ar hyn o bryd mae ychydig dros 1% o arwyneb tir Prydain yn cael ei feddiannu gan goedwigoedd glaw tymherus yr Iwerydd, sy'n cynrychioli tua 40% o goedwigoedd glaw tymherus Ewrop sy'n weddill. Mae'n gynefin prin a dan fygythiad yn rhyngwladol sy'n cefnogi cymunedau amrywiol o epiphytes. Ar hyn o bryd mae gwybodaeth gyfyngedig am gymunedau ffwngaidd pydredd coed felly rydym yn anelu at adfer y cydbwysedd mewn prosiectau sydd newydd ddechrau.
Rhyngweithiadau ffwngaidd-infertebratau

Mae ffyngau ac infertebratau yn rhyngweithio'n agos wrth ddadelfennu pren, gydag effeithiau cadarnhaol a negyddol ar ei gilydd. Mae llawer o infertebratau yn cael eu denu at mycelia ffwngaidd a chyrff ffrwythau, y gallant bori arnynt a lle gallant fridio. Rydym yn ymchwilio i'r cymunedau infertebratau yn y pant ar waelod boncyffion coed ynn, ffawydd a derw byw gan ddefnyddio echdynnu Tullgren traddodiadol ac adnabod morffolegol ynghyd â dulliau moleciwlaidd. Yn ogystal ag arolygon cyffredinol ac ymchwilio i gydberthynas â ffyngau sy'n bresennol, rydym wedi canolbwyntio'n arbennig ar y chwilen glicio fioled prin (Gambrinus (=Limoniscus) violaceus).
Yn hytrach na defnyddio biniau o ddeunydd organig fel ffordd o bontio'r bwlch cynefin pren pydredig ar gyfer infertebratau, rydym yn treialu blychau pren o blawd llif wedi'u gwladychu gan ffyngau pydredd y galon priodol. Er mewn camau cynnar, mae samplu yn dangos bod gwahanol infertebratau i'w cael mewn blychau gyda gwahanol rywogaethau o ffyngau.

Ffyngau basidiomycete sy'n pydru pren yw'r prif asiantau dadelfennu mewn coedwigoedd ac felly'n hanfodol i gylchu maetholion. Ar lawr y goedwig, mae ffyngau pydredd sy'n cynhyrchu organau llinellol 'tebyg i wreiddiau' - a elwir yn cordiau, yn arddangos patrymau rhyfeddol o ailddyrannu biomas a maetholion wrth ddod o hyd i adnoddau newydd. Maent hefyd yn defnyddio biomas yn wahanol ac yn gweithredu patrymau chwilio gwahanol yn dibynnu ar rywogaethau, cyfundrefn microhinsoddol, statws maetholion y system a'r pridd cyfagos. Mae'r rhwydweithiau mycelial cymhleth sy'n ffurfio mewn pridd yn cael eu hailfodelu yn gyson mewn ymateb i ddarganfod a galw am faetholion, newidiadau mewn microhinsawdd ac aflonyddwch dinistriol, e.e. gan borwyr infertebratau. Rydym hefyd wedi dangos bod gan mycelia ryw fath o gof 'cyfeiriadol'.
Ar hyn o bryd rydym yn ymchwilio, yn fathemategol, i bensaernïaeth rhwydweithiau, llwybrau rhwng gwahanol ranbarthau, gwytnwch i ddifrod, ac ati gan ddefnyddio theori graffiau / rhwydwaith, a modelu patrymau bwydo. Dim ond llond llaw o ffyngau sy'n ffurfio llinyn sydd wedi'u hastudio hyd yn hyn, ond mae llawer o rywogaethau yn gallu cynhyrchu cordiau felly rydym yn dechrau ymchwilio i berthynas esblygiadol rhwng y ffyngau hyn.
Effeithiau newid byd-eang ar ffyngau
Mae ffyngau yn darparu gwasanaethau ecosystem hanfodol trwy ddadelfennu, cylchdroi maetholion a chydgrynhoi'r pridd, ac maent yn elfen bwysig o ymatebion ecosystemau i newid byd-eang. Rydym wedi bod yn rhan o ddadansoddiadau helaeth o setiau data o'r DU a chyfandir Ewrop, sydd wedi dangos bod ffenoleg ffrwythau ffwngaidd yn newid yn ddramatig yn ogystal â gwesteion a dosbarthiadau rhywogaethau, oherwydd newidiadau hinsawdd a byd-eang eraill, er bod hyn yn amrywio rhwng rhywogaethau ac ecosystemau. Rydym hefyd wedi astudio effeithiau newid yn yr hinsawdd ar ryngweithiadau ffwng-infertebratau a rhyngweithiadau ffwng-ffwng, ac yn awr wedi ymgorffori agweddau newid byd-eang ym mhob un o'n prosiectau parhaus.
Rhyngweithiadau rhwng ffyngau saprotoffig
Cydweithwyr BIOSI: Hilary J. Rogers, Carsten Müller, Sarah Christofides
Cydweithwyr allanol: Daniel P. Eastwood (Prifysgol Abertawe)
Ffyngau Basidiomycete yw'r prif asiantau dadelfennu a chylicio maetholion mewn ecosystemau coedwigoedd. Mae gwahanol rywogaethau ac unigolion yn dod ar draws ei gilydd o fewn adnoddau organig gwladychu ac mewn sbwriel pridd / dail yn ystod y tyfiant i chwilio am adnoddau newydd. Maent yn amddiffyn ac yn cael tiriogaeth newydd trwy ryngweithiadau ymladd, gwrthwynebus. Mae'r rhyngweithiadau hyn, felly, yn hanfodol i ddatblygiad a gweithrediad cymunedol ffwngaidd mewn deunydd organig marw. Y canlyniadau cyffredinol yw deadlock, lle nad yw'r naill rywogaeth na'r llall yn ennill cyntaf, neu amnewid lle mae un rhywogaeth yn tynnu tiriogaeth oddi wrth y llall, ond weithiau amnewid rhannol neu ailosod cilyddol. Mae'r canlyniadau'n amrywio yn dibynnu ar rywogaeth, safle rhyngweithio (h.y. mewn pridd neu bren ac ati), microhinsawdd a maint cymharol mycelia a'r adnoddau a feddiannir ac ati. Gall canlyniad rhyngweithiadau gael ei effeithio gan ficrohinsawdd a statws adnoddau ymhlith eraill. Rydym wedi dangos bod pori infertebratau pridd yn newid rhyngweithiadau mycelial, yn ddramatig. Gyda chymhlethdod rhywogaethau lluosog ac amodau amgylcheddol, mae llawer o wahanol fecanweithiau antagonistaidd yn gweithredu. Mae ymatebion i wrthwynebwyr yn cynnwys rhannu a marwolaeth celloedd cyflym, cynhyrchu pigmentau, cyfansoddion organig anweddol (VOCs) a gwasgaradwy, asiantau gwrthficrobaidd eraill, newidiadau mewn cynhyrchu ensymau a mynegiant genynnau. Rydym yn ceisio deall sut mae rhyngweithiadau ffwngaidd rhyng-benodol yn pennu strwythur a datblygiad cymunedau ffwngaidd, a mecanweithiau sylfaenol antagonism. Yn y pen draw, rydym am wybod sut mae cymunedau pydredd pren yn gweithredu mewn ecosystemau naturiol. Rydym yn ymchwilio i'r newidiadau ffisiolegol a mynegiant genynnau yn ystod rhyngweithiadau rhwng rhywogaethau o ffyngau pydredd mewn pren sy'n cynrychioli'r olyniaeth o wladychwr cynradd i ddadelfenwyr eilaidd a thrydyddol, o dan amodau amgylcheddol gwahanol, gan ddefnyddio offer ôl-genomig newydd i'n galluogi i gael darlun cyflawn o'r genynnau sy'n cael eu troi ymlaen ac i ffwrdd yn ystod rhyngweithiadau.

Bywgraffiad
I am Professor of Fungal Ecology at Cardiff University UK, where I have worked since 1983. Prior to this I was a post doc at Bath University, I did my PhD at Queen Mary College, London University, and was an undergraduate at the University of Exeter. I have taught and researched into the ecology of fungi associated with trees and wood decomposition for over 40 years. I am currently studying: the fascinating communities of fungi and other organisms that rot the centres of old trees; the ash dieback fungus that is rampaging across the UK from Europe; the ways in which fungi fight each other and form communities; how fungi search the forest floor for food resources and respond to their finds; interactions between fungi and invertebrates; and how climate change is affecting fungi. I have co-authored the books “Fungal Decomposition of Wood” and “The Fungi”, and most recently (early 2021) I have written “Fungi and Trees: their Complex Relationships”. I have edited five books, written about 300 scientific papers, and am chief editor of the journal Fungal Ecology.
I am an ardent communicator of fungal science not only to students but also to a wider audience, by giving talks, short courses, participating in biology/nature events and through the media. Events have included UK Fungus Day (which we are hoping to expand to International Fungus Day), Soap Box science, and the RHS Chelsea Flower show, at which, I was a prime mover with the British Mycological Society Gold Medal winning exhibit "Out of sight out of mind" in 2009. As well as being a hit with the judges, the display received wide acclaim from the public, including the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, and had a few minutes on prime-time BBC TV. This success was followed by a large exhibition on "Amazing Fungi" which ran for 4 months at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh in 2010, and then for several years at the National Botanic Garden of Wales, where it was viewed by several hundred thousand visitors. Coinciding with the start of this exhibition, we published for a general audience "From Another Kingdom", which is RBGEs best-selling book.
I have spoken about fungi in numerous Radio and TV programmes and film documentaries, including: Radio 4 Farming Today, Saving Species, Living World, Forum, Radio 4 ‘Life Scientific, ‘In our time with Melvyn Bragg’, ‘The curious cases of Rutherford and Fry’, BBC World Service programmes, Radio Wales, BBC TV ' Afterlife', 'Great British Food Revival', 'The One Show' and Chanel 4's 'Sunday Brunch', and BBC1 ‘Trees’ with Judi Dench. I also participated in the award winning French produced film "Will fungi help save the world?" first shown on the European cultural television channel 'Arte' in Autumn 2013, and the 2018 award winning documentary “The Kingdom”. I am an active member of the British Mycological Society, of which I was president in 2009/10; I have organized, on their behalf, many conferences/events not only for academics but also for the wider public.
My contributions have been recognized by the award of an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list in 2019 for Services to Mycology and Science Outreach. I received the British Mycological Society (BMS) Berkeley Award in 1989, the Microbiology Society Fleming Award in 1991, the European Mycological Association outstanding achievement award in 2015, The British Ecological Society Marsh Award in 2016, The Frances Hoggan Medal of the Learned Society of Wales in 2018, and an honorary doctorate from the University of Abertay in 2018. I am a fellow of the Learned Society of Wales (2011) and of the Royal Society of Biology (2013).
